Posters are popping up across busy sections of New York City inviting victims of sexual assault to explain why they didn’t report it at the time.

The posters — which vary in size — are an outgrowth of a project that originated on Instagram.

Ha Jung Song, 25, and Bowook Yoon, 26, both from South Korea, said they came up with the idea after President Trump issued a tweet blaming victims for not instantly reporting their attacks to authorities.

“I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents,” Trump tweeted, referring to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s allegation that Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, tried to rape her in the 1980s during a booze-fueled encounter.

“We want all the brave survivors to know they are not alone and their stories are valid. We also want each story to change the narrative and empower everyone to fight for what’s right,” the artists, both students at the School of Visual Arts told the Daily News in an email.

The classmates stationed themselves at Union Square Saturday where survivors from all walks of life revealed their secrets and took comfort in knowing they weren’t alone.

A woman who had been assaulted by her father said she never reported the abuse because she didn’t want her mother to find out.

“I didn’t want her to feel like she didn’t do a good job as a parent. I don’t want her to feel bad that she didn’t notice it happened,” she said. She withheld her name because her mother still doesn’t know she was abused.
